You took my pick. lol Winter Sadness is another classic that sounds great when you play them back to back.

Yep, but I'm old school (although I love "To Zanarkand"). VI and IV are easily the two best games and the two best soundtracks IMO.

Nobuo Uematsu - Tina's Theme ("Terra's Theme" in the U.S.)


Some fantastic instrumentals written by Stevie Wonder:

Ecclesiastes

pray

Contusion

Jeff Beck - Cause We've Ended As Lovers

"Sideways"
"Rags To Rufus"
"Rufusized"
"On Time"
"Slow Screw Against The Wall/A Flat Fry"
"Finale"
"Take Time"

all by RUFUS FT. CHAKA KHAN

my absolute favorite is
the "Sideways" one
the lil subtle wails of Chaka's
and most importantly
"the food is here!!!"

same here... and OMG
eek I just had an epiphany eek

Kameelah (of 702) has a song out
right now called "Addicted"
and I kept on saying
"hot damn this song sounds like
the music from that Tevin C./Quincy song!!!"

but the truth is, she actually sampled
the one by the Brothers Johnson

OMG OMG OMG... I must have this album now
thank you
